G Herbo Reveals His Father Has Died In Heartfelt Speech About Overcoming Adversity

G Herbo picked an unlikely time and context— a motivational speech during a livestream with Kai Cenat — to reveal that his father has recently died.

On Saturday (November 16) as part of his month-long Mafiathon 2 livestream, Cenat had Herbo as a guest. The streamer asked the Chicago rapper to give a motivational speech — a staple with guests during the stream — with live musical backing.

Herbo, accompanied by his son, began with a cliché: “When the going get tough, the tough get going.” But he quickly moved into more personal territory.

“There’s always light at the end of the tunnel,” he continues. “You know me, personally, I’ve been through a lot. I always overcome adversity. Trial, tribulations — there’s always triumph at the end. You gotta get up, work hard to be better than you were yesterday.

“I just lost my pops two weeks ago, two-and-a-half weeks ago,” he continued. “I still find a reason to get up and smile, to get up and work, to provide for my family, to be there for my children.”

At Herbo’s mention of his father, the rapper’s young son began crying.

“My son, he crying because I’m talking about his grandfather,” Herbo explained. “But it’s okay, man. Family first.”

“You miss your pop-pop?” he asked. “It’s okay. He’s living through you, son.”

Check out the speech beginning at the 2:09:40 mark below.

Herbo’s public speeches haven’t always been so positive. Earlier this fall, he hit back at a six-figure lawsuit from what he labeled a “greedy” law firm in connection to his 2020 wire fraud case.

The drill pioneer was sued for allegedly not paying the law firm he used to help him avoid prison time in the case.

The Chicago rapper took to Instagram after the suit was filed to share a reaction video.

He began: “So, instead of like, writing one of those big, long paragraphs where people issue statements, I figured I’d rather just talk about it on video. And I wish I didn’t even have to address this kind of stuff because, I don’t know, if I could avoid talking about stuff publicly, if I could avoid any kind of public perception of my personal life and my business I would do the opposite, but anyway, I wanna address this lawsuit and my greedy, sheisty-ass law firm Prince Lobel that I hired.”

He added: “First of all, I paid y’all a million dollars. A million dollars. I think a little over a million dollars. But this invoice of what y’all are suing me for put y’all well over a million dollars. I didn’t even go to trial. I pled guilty. I pled guilty to something I had minor, a little involvement in, in the first place. I only had my name on five pages of discovery.

“Out of a million pages of discovery or whatever that y’all read, because that’s what y’all wanted to do so y’all could charge me by the hour, my name was only on five pages of this shit. Only on five pages of discovery.”

Herbo concluded: “I went into the courtroom, pleading guilty, and I was able to walk home, walk out of the courtroom and be with my family, remain free, based off of mitigation. For those who don’t know what mitigation is, it’s basically an argument based on who I am as a person.”
